Birthday ficlet for Miss M from kerkevik

As kerkevik is currently without internet, he asked if I could repost this lovely little ficlet here so people could actually see it. (Notes at the end.)


A Quintessential Truth
by
kerkevik (written for Miss M's 15th birthday)

She was in the hospital again.
Attacked a doctor. Again.
He was there to see her.
Again.
Mum and her Aunt Sharon were nearby.
Leaving them alone.
Again.

Not that Amy ever seemed to notice him.
The coffee drinkers noticed though.
That she noticed. Even if she didn't realise.

"Same as her mother,"
"Sorry," came the distracted reply; lips almost, not-quite, touching the foam.
"With Augustus."
Both looked in the direction of the psychiatric ward.
"Not really sure either of them knew... until they asked each other to get married."
Sharon touched her friend's hand.
"They're going to be okay."



Notes:
I rewatched The Eleventh Hour recently and I kept the image of Amy being treated after attacking another doctor for telling her that her Raggedy Doctor wasn't real. Just had this idea of Aunt Sharon and his Mum constantly giving them time together because they both could see how Amy felt about him, even if she was too 'dim'. Rory has figured out what they're up to of course, but he's just worried about Amy. The idea of Amy's mum and dad popping the question at the same time appealed to me.

The title comes from the latin for fifteen and that it's taking place (in my head anyway) on her 15th birthday.

And the last line is for you.
Kerkevik
